Angers SCA beats Ardelay 6-0 to equal Coupe de France best run

Angers SCA secured a dominant 6-0 victory against Ardelay on October 11, 2026, at the stade de la Baraterie in Angers, equaling the club’s best-ever run in the Coupe de France. The regional division three side capitalized on early chances and defensive solidity to outclass their Vendée opponents in the fifth round fixture, angers.maville.com reported.

The lopsided scoreline masked a competitive opening hour where the visitors hit the crossbar twice and had an equalizer disallowed for a foul. However, clinical finishing by the home side proved decisive as Angers advanced to equal a historic milestone in the national knockout competition.

Early Goals and First-Half Pressure at Stade de la Baraterie

Angers opened the scoring just three minutes into the match when Ouddabar found the back of the net. Despite trailing early, Ardelay responded with sustained intensity and threatened the home goal repeatedly before the interval.

The visitors hit the crossbar in the 37th and 40th minutes and saw a 21st-minute equalizer disallowed due to an offensive foul. Against the run of play, Angers doubled their lead just before halftime when Biancardini scored in the 41st minute to make it 2-0.

The fact of mener, then to double the stakes, a little against the run of play, that does us good. But we were far from saying it was done.

Second-Half Efficiency Seals Six-Goal Victory

Angers maintained defensive discipline after the break while exploiting spaces on the counterattack. Lancereau extended the lead to 3-0 in the 67th minute by scoring directly from a corner kick.

Trailing by three goals, the Herbretais side lost momentum in the closing stages. Baye added a fourth goal in the 84th minute, followed by Sayf in the 90th minute and Biancardini sealing his brace in stoppage time to complete the 6-0 scoreline.

We deserved to come back to the score but we return at 2-0. The success that fled us is surely symptomatic of what we lacked. If we made bars, if it didn’t enter, it’s maybe that we lacked determination.
